I actually found myself in Wal-Mart today reading a MacWorld magazine. And I am going to the Apple website more than my website.

I think Lore is in this movie, Data's brother.
I think that the special effects in the Trek Movie are going to be the best they have ever used. And it is all done on a mac.
Looks to me that Captain Picard and Data are on the bridge when the Enterprise hits the ship.
Ok, it looks like the bridge gets pretty beat up in this movie. I have played it frame to frame and finally got the right one. When you see the bridge crew getting thrown around there is a guy who says no and flies out what appears to be where the front of the viewscreen once was. It is not Riker or Data. He is wearing red, Data wears gold or yellow and it is not Riker. This also could be another scene from a different scene. They mix it up for the trailer to confuse people.
Ok, I have gone frame by frame for this one scene. It is the one where Rker screams. They look to be in some sort of round cage. That would be Riker and one of the bad guys because you can see the head is what with no hair and he is wearing one of the bad guys uniforms. I think it is the bad guy who gets sucked out into space. I from what I can tell, I don't think they intended for the Enterprise to hit the other ship. Why? Because before that shot you see one of the smaller ships breaks its wing tips and it hits part of the suacer section then part of the warp nacelle. Now, that might have caused them to hit the other ship. But, that does not explain the big explotion at the end of the trailer.
aawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. That pretty much sums it up for the new Star Trek Nemesis Trailer that I just downloaded. I think this is going to be one of the best movies they have ever done. From what it looks like, the Enterprise sets a collision course and this time they really do it. And, Riker screams, no and it looks like he gets sucked out into space. I think I have figured out that the bad guy is a clone of Picard's mind. I know that sounds stipud, but watch the trailer. I will be in the theater on December 13th. Man, this could be the one where it all ends.

Random Fact: The 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Can beat a F-16 Jet in the quarter-mile.
Ok, Please make a note for the history books. I want an ibook. I want to switch. There I said it. I will be working on something very important and my computer, which is running Windows XP just, freezes. It sometimes closes the program entirely without my permission. But, I don't have the money. Just a wish.

CompUSA is currently offering a $100 trade-in rebate towards any new Pocket PC when you bring in your old PDA. The offer doesn't specify what kinds of "old PDAs" qualify, or whether you'll have to part with it in order to get the rebate (we assume not). That can net you a 32MB Audiovox Maestro for $199.99 or a Compaq iPAQ H3835 for $399.99 (which includes two additional rebates). Need a keyboard to go with the iPAQ? Get the Stowaway for just $49.99 after rebates.

    I just got done watching The Lord of the Rings. My friend is staying over while his parents are away on business. He gave me a coupon to get 2 movies or games and get a third for free. So, I got two xbox games and I let him choose the movie. I really am not interesting in this kind of movie. But, I watched anyway. The CGI is out of this world incredible. I'm sure that the landscapes are not real, but they sure were neat. I can't believe the movie ended like it did. Now, I am going to have to see the second one. This movie is not for young children! Scary.
    Someone from New Zealand visited my website. Cool.

    Well I finally got to go to Six Flags today. It was so much fun. I have to say that the Titan ride was my favorite. It reaches 255 feet above the earth the muscular steel superstructure features one of the world's mightiest drops at hyper speeds of 85 miles an hour. I only got to go on it two times today. But that is alot for this ride. There was not alot of people there today and on some of the rides like the Titan, we just walked all the way up to it. No lines. I remember last year when it came out and we went to get on it and the sign said it would take 5 hours to wait in line. The line was all the way back in the Six Flags employee parking lot. But, it only took an hour and 30 minutes. Not bad. The other rides that are a blast are the Texas Giant, Mr. Freeze, and the Batman Ride.
    No sleep for me. Been up since well, yesterday.
    3 hours until Six Flags. I can't wait. But, you look at the weather map for Texas right now it does not look very good. Been trying to go for 4 months people.
    I got a Referring URL from google.com It is funny. Look who else is on this page. Oh, yeah, by the way I have this fuction now on my website. Someone from Leoville.com visited my website too.

    It is probably going to rain us out again. I'm going to Six Flags on Saturday. I hope.
    I found it really funny when you log into AOL IM and people leave. It really is funny when it is family.
    Ok, I just got the mask feature for my new domain name. This will allow the old long url to be hidden. It is already working.

    Pocket PC's and science fiction have been intertwined from the beginning. How many of us have faked out a unsuspecting neighbor that our Pocket PC is really a tricorder from Star Trek? Wasn't it funny when they believed you and told all their friends? With the advent of Star Trek Nemesis coming in December, we will all have make the proper equipment modifications. Wouldn't want Junior to think our technology is so 21st century. watch the movie trailer
    Pocket PC Passion on TechTV next Tuesday.
    I am thinking about just upgrading my free tripod account to tripod plus. If I do this it would eliminate ALL of the ads on my site, including the pop-ups. I get more disk space, more bandwidth, and file sharing, etc. It is only $4.95 a month.
    My new domain name now works. It is jimhwilliams.com. I still need to get the masking feature for it so you don't see my ungly long url.

    If you have not seen the graphic on TechTV's website then you probably don't know. TechTV is going to air a show called Microsoft Insider live. It will be on TechTV October 5th. Go to Microsoft's website and register to win cool stuff like, tablet pcs, pocket pc phone edition, etc.
    Man, the people at GoDaddy.com are fast. They answered my question about the mask feature for my domain name for me. I will have to get that too. But it is not very much, just $5.95.
    I have registered my own domain name. I am very excited about this. Alot of changes are coming. But, I have a question. I did not get the mask feature. Does that mean when they type my new domain name and when my page finally loads is it going to still show my old long url? Should I get the mask feature? I am new to this. Well, we will see in 48 hours! Hope it works. Saturday I am going to Six Flags, can't wait!
    Microsoft released Windows Media Player 9 Beta - if you have broadband then it would be in your best interest to go check this out.
    Ok, go here and watch this. It has to do with Techtv.

    I got the Star Trek The Wrath Of Khan Director's Edition DVD today. It is full of new footage. Well, it is stuff that they deleted from the first version. Makes you wonder why they did it to begin with.
    Well, I have registered my own domain name. I will tell more later.

    Monday, September 02, 2002

    I have decided to buy my own domain. But, I cannot get my name. That is ok. I am also thinking about getting someone to host my website. It would be nice not to have all the popups. I also could do some more advance coding. So, things are going to change around here. I have already opened up my store. I don't plain to make anything from it. But, it is there. So maybe something good could come out of it.
